» Intel Core i7 (Nehalem) Performance Preview

Performance junkies look out: Intel's next-generation Nehalem CPU has arrived! The CPU's architecture has been designed from the ground up to deliver improved IPC, while it's also capable of dynamically OC'ing itself to further enhance performance. See how the new Core i7 CPUs stack up against CPUs ranging from the Core 2 Duo and Athlon X2 6000+ up to the Core 2 Extreme QX9700. We also managed to OC these chips to really high levels. Read the full scoop inside!

Looks very promising. I'm rocking an Opteron 165 at the moment, but I think I can hold off on upgrading until the platform's been refined a bit. Those motherboard prices are galling. The CPUs themselves are already pretty reasonable though. Fingers crossed they both drop a lot in 2009. :P

I still don't understand why they didn't call it a Core 3 Quad. Would people be so confused as to think a Phenom X4 was better?

7>4 so maybe ppl will be like "duuuh, I dunno, this is i7 and this is X4, I think i7 is better, but then X is further down the alphabet, hmmm..."
